Use this to answer "show me the tweets about this story" or "what outlets covered this". Filter discussion by platform, coverage by publisher, or use brief mode to skip the article body.

Sort by rank (prominence) or newest (most recently seen). Optionally filter by headline tier (1=standard, 2=major, 3=top story), publisher name, discussion platform, topic, or a "since" timestamp, and paginate with offset. Use get_story when you need full details or article body text.
